ISU Starport 1 (2016)
Summary of what the thread established
- ISU final report: structural sections 4.8–4.9, and a 100 MW superconducting cosmic-ray shield on the torus (section 6.2.5) LMT, 2023-01-09; LMT, 2023-01-13.
- Problem. A superconducting loop feels kN·m torque in the geomagnetic field (τ = NIAB sinθ), countered with electrodynamic booms (Wong & Damaren 2013) LMT, 2023-01-09.
- lamontagne: a student study of limited validity lamontagne, 2023-01-11.
Open questions
- Can the geomagnetic torque on a superconducting shield be cancelled economically?
